Isn't there a point where thin crosses the barrier of flimsy? I'm pretty sure this breaks it. I, for one, don't want my monitors as thin as a sheet of paper, because there's a reason paper is thin----you can crumble it up, tear it . . it's disposable, very cheap and can be turned into magazines for 4 bucks a copy.
This is a high grade OLED monitor that might cost around 2,000 bucks . . . i want this to survive falling off my desk whenever i get pissed at my computer
I do see your point but here you have contradicted yourself.... If it is akin to paper that can be made into magazines for $4 then that is a good thing... Once processing is finished and its been out for five or ten years it will slowly replace paper and that will help the environment. Plastic is recyclable, flexible and long lasting. Then it will be just as cheep as a magazine... It happens all the time.... Dollars to Credit cards.... Books to PC.... etc...
Not so much books to PC as it is books to web 2.0 (did we hit web 3.0 yet?), but great point made, FairyGothMother. Personally I think nano-technology will end up being the final replacement of paper.

I don't think plastic crumples to easily, even though its thin. And usually a piece of paper can survive a fall from a desk pretty easily.
